The image shows a blurred, abstracted landscape with silhouettes of trees. The tempera painting meticulously reproduces a photograph taken through a window using a flashlight. The flashlight hinders to look through the glass and to see what is out there. In turn, it gets reflected and illuminates two crossing stripes of glass scratches, creating an abstract pattern superimposed on the faint background. The work's title Sunset straightforwardly defines its subject, adding up to the somewhat melancholic quality of the image.
